Autosize

Autosize textarea uses react-textarea-autosize package. Textarea height will grow until maxRows are reached or indefinitely if maxRows not set.

import { Textarea } from '@mantine/core';


function Demo() {
  return (
    <>
      <Textarea
        placeholder="Autosize with no rows limit"
        label="Autosize with no rows limit"
        autosize
        minRows={2}
      />


      <Textarea
        label="Autosize with 4 rows max"
        placeholder="Autosize with 4 rows max"
        autosize
        minRows={2}
        maxRows={4}
      />
    </>
  );
}

Controlled

import { useState } from 'react';
import { Textarea } from '@mantine/core';


function Demo() {
  const [value, setValue] = useState('');
  return <Textarea value={value} onChange={(event) => setValue(event.currentTarget.value)} />;
}

Invalid state and error

Comment should not include bad words
// Error as boolean – red border color
<Textarea error />


// Error as React node – red border color and message below input
<Textarea error="Comment should not include bad words" />

Get input ref

import { useRef } from 'react';
import { Textarea } from '@mantine/core';


function Demo() {
  const ref = useRef<HTMLTextAreaElement>(null);
  return <Textarea ref={ref} />;
}

Accessibility

Provide aria-label in case you use component without label for screen reader support:

<Textarea /> // -> not ok, textarea is not labeled
<Textarea label="My textarea" /> // -> ok, textarea and label is connected
<Textarea aria-label="My textarea" /> // -> ok, label is not visible but will be announced by screen reader
